92% Recycled Polyester 8% Spandex Four-Way Stretch Recovery Rib Knit combines 92% GRS recycled polyester / 8% spandex with a Rib Knit construction. It is aimed at Yoga Sets that require a soft hand with modest, sustained stretch, and the reason is straightforward: bottle-to-fabric traceability with full chain of custody records, so Four-Way Stretch Recovery.

Why this construction works
Because a rib knit is used, the fabric behaves consistently across the roll: high extension across the width with clean recovery, ideal for cuffs and bands. That consistency is what lets a factory cut confidently and lets a brand repeat an order a season later with the same result.

Recommended applications
Used for Yoga Sets and for the accessories around them. a soft hand with modest, sustained stretch is the reason it is chosen, and the fabric bonds, prints and sews on standard machinery without special settings.

Dyeing, finishing and customisation
The fabric can be supplied greige, piece dyed or printed. Add-on finishes are selected after a wash durability trial, because a finish that disappears after five washes is worse than no claim at all.
Care instructions
- Machine wash at 30 degrees with mild detergent, no fabric softener.
- Dry away from direct heat and do not tumble dry hot.
- Cool iron on the reverse if needed, and avoid bleach.

Frequently asked questions
Is the performance tested on every lot? Yes. The named test method is repeated on bulk fabric, not only on the approval sample, and the report carries the lot number so results can be traced back.
What is the minimum for a first order? Development starts at 300 metres per colour, which is enough for a proper wear trial and a small capsule. Bulk pricing improves at 1,000 metres and above per colour.
